	Bizen Tadamitsu
		REMARKS: The Tadamitsu line of Bizen sword smiths can be numbered among the best of their kind who worked during the late Koto period.
		His blades were sturdy, graceful in shape and form, and of a [shortened] length that made them easier to handle with just one hand as the changing styles of fighting would soon dictate.
		He was known for his finely worked and evenly made mokume jitetsu, which has been judged over time to be the best of all the Sue-koto Bizen smiths.

	Yosozaemon Sukesada
		The nakago will have a typical Bizen shape as well, and one would expect the nakago mune to be a bit rounded at the machi, which will then slowly flatten out as it proceeds to the nakago-jiri.
		Utsuri is commonly associated with Bizen works, but by the late Muromachi utsuri had mostly disappeared, so we would not necessarily expect to see it in the work of Yosozaemon.
		In the Sue Bizen times, a tradition began to be held on the signatures which can indicate the quality of the work.
